throwing custom exceptions in spring DSL

[Minh Tran <mi...@winning.com.au>]

Hi 

It appears the only way to throw exceptions in the spring DSL is to declare the exception as a bean and use the <throwException> tag with the reference to the bean. However doing so means you're limited to whatever message you declared your bean with. e.g.

<bean id="myException" class="java.lang.RuntimeException">
	<constructor-arg>something bad happened</constructor-arg>
</bean>

So is it possible to throw an exception with a customised message? Or is this just a limitation of spring DSL? Would be awesome if I could do something like this 

<throwException>
	<bean class="java.lang.RuntimeException">
		<constructor-arg>my message</constructor-arg>
	</bean>
</throwException>

No you can only refer to the exception and define it as a <bean>
